     Capt. Andrew Newcomb was born in 1616 or 1618 at Devonshire, England. He married (Unknown) (Unknown). Capt. Andrew Newcomb emigrated from the West of England. He is first mentioned in New England at his marriage in 1663 to Grace, widow of William Rix, and in 1664 in 'Directory of Ancestral Heads of New England Families (1620-1700)'. In 1697, Capt. Andrew was 'Master of ye sloop Edmund and Martha', then in New York and bound for Boston. She was carrying tobacco so may have come from Virginia. His will (Date: 31 Jan 1683, probate date 9 Dec 1686 Place: Suffolk Co, MA) bequeathed items to his wife, daughter Grace Butler, and other children. 'What Mean These Stones' by James Doyle Davison, p. 165, says Andrew was living in Boston in 1663 at 182 Hanover St. (now vacant). He also says he bought a house in 1681 Grace was the second wife of Andrew. Capt. Newcomb's will is recorded upon Suffolk Probate, Vol. 11, page 48, an exact copy of which is hereafter given. His signature to it indicates an expert writer; it is written with a worn quill pen, apparently with no hesitating or faltering movement, and the ink hascontinued jet black though written more than 230 years ago.

Jurat Eoram preside Attestr Tho. Dudley Cler Entered 9 Dec 1686 From the omission of either bequest or mention in his will of a son, Andrew (2) Newcomb, a doubt has been expressed of his relationship, but the fact that 'Capt. Newcomb, at the time of the making of his will held peculiar relations to his grandchild Newcomb Blague, who demanded from his youth and condition as an orphan (then twelve years old, and the only living child of his parents) his most conscientious consideration, and that his child Grace (2) Newcomb, by his second wife, had in her mother a watchful guardian or friend in presenting her claims to the consideration of Capt. Newcomb; all of which easily and plainly may account for the diversion of his property from his son Lieut. Newcomb. It needs but to be added that in colonial times, where bequests were not made to children of the testator, their names were frequently omitted. This much is known, that both Capt. Andrew (l) Newcomb and Lieut. Andrew (2) Newcomb were living in America at or near Boston at the same time, and in command of sailing craft; and that at the time Capt. Newcomb made his will Lieut. Newcomb was living at Martha's Vineyard in circumstances of worldly prosperity, and in no need of pecuniary aid. Other facts are given in the following pages, all of which go to show that Lieut. Andrew Newcomb was a son of Capt. Andrew Newcomb, by his first wife, and an own brother to Susannah (2).' No inventory or settlement of his estate appears upon record or on file in Boston. That Capt. Newcomb was a man of education is shown from the specimens of his writing-, still extant, that exhibit facility with the pen in times when it was a common occurrence for men of property and respectability to sign their wills and deeds with a cross. And, since it appears that he was a shipmaster for so many years on the Atlantic coast, it is clear he must have been possessed of nautical skill. Nor would he have become a mariner if he had not been a person of courage, for in those days, even more than at present, it was necessary for one to be brave to 'go down to the sea in ships.' That he was a man of vigor and enterprise, like all the New England pioneers, needs no proof, and that he was characterized by something of the same uprightness that the author trusts still belongs to those who bear the name of Newcomb seems absolutely certain. Finally, that he was a peaceable citizen, a good husband and father, occupied with the common interests of mankind, as his descendants of to-day, is no mere conjecture, but a reasonable certainty. Here is a discussion of Andrew Newcomb's origins. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/2957/origins.html. Capt. Andrew Newcomb was a mariner or sea captain in 1663. He married Grace (Unknown) in 1663 at Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Capt. Andrew Newcomb left a will on 1 January 1682/83 at Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
